Transmission slips and engine revs up and then down again occasionally on 1-2 upshift only. The dealer re-programmed the transmission computer.

Automatic climate control does not switch automatically from heating to air conditioning when vehicle interior heats up. Air conditioning works only when selected manually.

at different speeds it would act like it was downshifting and then upshifting. We were told by someone that worked at a dealership that it was a well known problem with that vehicle. We traded it that weekend.

Not sure if it comes from the steering wheel or if it's something in the suspension or somewhere that would be effected when turning.
